 Aquaculture (less commonly spelled aquiculture), also known as aquafarming, is the farming of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, aquatic plants, algae, and other organisms. Waste from the excessive number of fish can cause huge blankets of green slime on the water's surface, depleting oxygen and killing much of the life in the water. In Brazil, destruction caused by aquaculture changed the local climate so much that some aquaculture operations have been forced to shut down. Small-scale fisheries and aquaculture make criti- cal contributions to development in the areas of employment, with over 41 million people world- wide, the vast majority of whom live in devel- oping countries, working in fish production; food security and nutrition, with fish constituting an important source.
